Their mirrors are forcing my mobile browser to open the video file instead of downloading it. That's not very helpful. I'm surprised they didn't offer a torrent for the video, that would actually help me (and help them on costs/mirroring). EDIT: Another user provided the solution: press-and-hold/long-tap the video in the new tab to get an option to download.

It immediately starts playing for me when I press the download button (Safari on iOS), with the amount downloaded showing in the bar at the bottom like YouTube (edit: and saving it to iCloud Drive through the share sheet works as intended).

  I'm not talking about loading/caching, I'm talking about downloading to watch offline later.

What browser are you on? Safari -> hold touch over link -> Share.. -> Save to files. Or click the video to start playing it and then hit the share -> save to files.

    Hmm... if they're on Android there are apps in Fdroid or Play Store that let you download arbitrary files. Kind of annoying Firefox doesn't have that function

    Since this is an article about an Android phone, I realise giving an iOS solution for this may not be that helpful. For anyone using iOS, the Apple Shortcuts app has an action "Get Contents of URL". You can use this to make a shortcut to save the contents of any URL similar to using wget. I often find this useful, and highly recommend the Shortcuts app in general. It's not perfect, but helps add missing functionality. Been a while since I used Android regularly, but there will be a similar (easier) method for a shortcut to download the contents of a URL.

      In iOS 13, due to release next month, one will be able to simply tap-and-hold on a link, then choose to download the file. Safari on iOS will finally include a download manager just like the one on macOS.
